Watch 5 Seasons of LOST in 10 Minutes

London is a magical place where everyone walks about with long umbrellas, always with a nod of approval for a passerby and a kind word or two in an accent that makes all the American girls' knickers disappear. Recently, the Reduced Shakespeare Company took on the challenge of converting the most epic tale of love, death, double cross, heaven, hell and polar bears, into a coherent, 10 minute piece of art. For those of you who wish to get caught up on years of LOST shenanigans during your lunch break...for those of you whose head hurts at the thought of time jumping and island shifting...most importantly, for those of you OBSESSED with LOST...this performance is for you.

AccuTech Iron Man 2 Viral Site Launched

In the Marvel Universe (or more specifically, the Marvel Movie Universe as is the case), a company like Stark Industries would have many little offshoots creating crazy things to keep the populace humming along at a blinding speed. AccuTech seems to make gadgets a little more high tech than say...the Stark Wholesale Foods Club! Hit THIS LINK to explore a little tiny piece of this world. You may notice some hardware that looks a LOT like the suit Whiplash uses to attack Tony Stark!

AccuTech: a subsidiary of Stark Industries has today given us a glimpse of the latest breakthrough in anthropo-robotics - the ‘HazTech Exoskeleton’.

Using revolutionary hyper-sensors and nano-hydraulic technology, the exoskeleton is able to detect and amplify body movement. Covering over 80% of the human body, it also protects its wearer from high impact and extreme temperatures.
In a video released today at www.starkexpo2010.com/accutech/ a prototype arm is shown in action, with the full exoskeleton due to be unveiled next month at the hotly anticipated Stark Expo 2010.

Charles Healey, CEO commented: “Putting aside the obvious commercial applications of HazTech, our priority is to unlock its humanitarian potential. By better protecting the lives of peacekeepers and emergency rescue teams, we can help them save the lives of others.”

Second Coming Means Death For The X-Men

With just a thought, Scarlet Witch put mutants on the endangered species list. With just under 200 still possessing their powers, the Marvel Universe became a very dangerous place for Homo-Superior and more specifically, the X-Men and their charges at the school for gifted youngsters. Since that time, lives have been lost and humanity seems to have a never ending well of sinister plots to wipe out the remaining mutants...but one ray of hope still shines. A child is born, a mutant...the first one since the M Day event. Some call her the savior of mutant kind. Some call her its destroyer. Whom ever is right, it seems all with be revealed....SOOON!!! This X-Men event runs through most of the X titles (as any good event should) with the finale scheduled for July. It's going to be WARRRR!

I Want My Geek TV

No, it's not an article about some enterprising media mogul finally recognizing the need for a SUPER MEGA GEEK CABLE CHANNEL or series of channels covering scifi, horror and super heroes respectively. We can still dream on that day. Today, we are talking about flat panel televisions suited up for the die hard Marvel Comics fan in your life. Ever dreamed of strapping a neon green 52 inch inch flat screen to your living room wall that adequately conveys your love of the jade giant? Have you written to Sony asking if they might adapt the rocky hide motif of the ever lovin' blue eyed Thing to 42 inch LCD? R2C23 has the answer to your dorkiest prayers. Whether you are looking for a conservative blinding yellow Thor deco, a slick black Wolverine to drive the ladies wild or the flames of Ghost Rider to show the man in your life just what heats you up, these guys have thought of nearly eeeeverything! I say NEARLY because the obvious is oddly absent. Where's the frakin' Spidey pattern?! Oh well. Time to impulse buy.

Clash of the Titans (2010) Movie Review

Humans scratch away at the barren lands under the shadow of immortal beings who know no pain or suffering and demand unwavering worship. When men scream toward the heavens in protest, they are smacked to the ground. When the armies of man launch a campaign of defiance against Zeus himself, the god allows Hades to issue an ultimatum. Sacrifice the princess of Argos, or the Kraken will be set loose on the world! WHO will save them? Legend tells of a man with a shaved head and Australian accent who will lead a dour band of soldiers on a quest for the one weapon that will slay the Kraken. If Hollywood has taught us anything in the last year, it’s that Sam Worthington is the savior of us all.

When attempting to remake any movie, you come up against the fans of the original. When remaking Clash of the Titans, you also face the added wrath of the fans who revere the work of the great Ray Harryhausen above and beyond the original film itself. On one hand, stop-motion animation is extremely antiquated and could be easily surpassed in a “Wow Factor” scenario. Another viewpoint is that stop-motion animation is timeless, making any scene instantly more awesome with the addition of little puppets poised to battle and/or eat humankind. Whatever side you may be on, all the Clash redux would have to do to capture the imagination of a whole new age is deliver fantastic monsters attempting to devour characters we give a damn about. Unfortunately, Clash 2010 fails at both.

Clash of the Titans (2010)For reasons unknown to us, the men of Argos learn that Perseus (Worthington) is a demigod (half man/half god) and, therefore, the only being who stands a chance of killing the colossal Kraken. The film then introduces us to the scrappy band of misfits charged with accompanying Perseus on his quest, the bulk of whom do their best to provide comic relief to incessant speeches about man’s disgust of the gods. *Cue Worthington’s now trademark anguished howl* "DAAAAAMN YOUUUUU, ZEUUUUUUS"! Clash even stacks the deck with two scruffy assassins who are obviously introduced for wacky antics, and the duo are great at their jobs but inexplicably quit the fight early in the movie with nary a joke to send them off. Odd.

Thirty-two one-liners later (all of which fall flat), and we are no closer to caring about any characters except maybe for Io (Arterton), who is cursed with looking hot for all eternity. To make matters worse, every spectacle the film has to offer (which we’ve already seen in the ten plus clips and nearly one hundred stills showing it all that have popped up online) is introduced with the artistic eye one might see on "The Deadliest Catch" when one of the fishermen holds a giant crab aloft in triumph. The best effect of the movie is no doubt the scene stealing Pegasus, the black winged horse. Medusa comes off looking like a high quality comic book drawing, the Kraken is less than awe inspiring, and the giant scorpions may as well have been stop-motion puppets. At one point in the flick we see a giant claw next to one of the warriors, and I swear it swayed like a puppet on strings. "Thunderbirds" are GO!

Clash of the Titans (2010)Rather than offering viewers anything resembling emotionally driven content to hold their attention during the ill explained conflict we're being treated to, the film instead attempts to replace tension and feeling with overly charismatic characters. Unfortunately, there are none here. Our band of warriors seem to have no love for each other so why should we bother to care about them? Of course, there is the forced relationship between Io and Perseus, which is painfully obvious from her first appearance, but even that fails to exact the pulling of any heartstrings.

I couldn’t help thinking that maybe I might be too jaded as I watched giant monsters battle ancient warriors and still found every scene tiresome. Would this blow the mind of some little kid? Maybe so, but I am an adult who has been looking forward to this film since day one. Why am I slowly ... falling ... asleep? It should be noted that I watched Clash in 2D, thereby sparing myself the annoyance of shaky imagery converted to 3D, but the thought of any scene playing better because monster phalanges are being thrown at our heads is fairly inconceivable. Clash of the Titans is a dull, uninspired mess with the emotional depth of a Sid and Marty Kroft TV special. Wait for this on DVD and use it to keep the kids amused in between episodes of "Sponge Bob Square Pants".

Dark Frosty VS Captain America

When we are able to interview celebrities about their latest films, we often want to shove in questions about far geekier pursuits and projects that may have down the pipe. This weekend, the cast of The Losers hit Wondercon 2010, and even though this film is high on our anticipation list, the forces of geekiness demand we pester Chris Evans about CAPTAIN FREAKING AMERICA!! Steve "Frosty" Weintraub of Collider was faced with this very conundrum and rather than fight the system, he thought he'd test his jedi mind tricks in the field. Hit the video to learn all about The Losers and pet a kitten as you watch Steve works his blackest of black magic. Eeeeexcellent.

Tron: Legacy Shenanigans Continue LIVE at Wondercon 2010

The crowd assembled outside was dense but not so much as to stave off the last remnants of Winter which turned the nervous geek dance of anticipation to the "ohhhh so cooooold" dance of displeasure. Soon enough, Bruce Boxleitner took the stage as his character Alan Bradley, kicking off the Encom press and fan event that announced Space Paranoids Online!! The (literally) immersive experience included mentions of the lost Flynn, causing outbursts of "FLYNN LIVES!" from the audience, a rush of the stage by "protesters?" waving their Flynn Lives t shirts and signs declaring the same...to what end i have no idea...and a circling helicopter that, after the winds died down, dumped a sole jumper into the night sky who was later revealed to be......

Sam Flynn!!! Dun dun duuuun. Sources close to Flynn said the boy does this every year to commemorate the disappearance of his father. Hey..some guys drink. Who's to point a finger? Head over to FlynnLives.com for more pics of the night's insanity and stay tuned for more Tron wackiness...since we are still months away from the movie's release! December isn't too far awaaaaayeeeaaaaaayyyyy. Yes it is.

NOTE:: For those collecting all the TRON: Legacy viral swag, you can now add a Space Paranoids pin to your hunting list!

Resident Evil: Afterlife Teaser is LIVE

Straight from Wondercon where Milla Jovovich took the stage to booming applause of the rabid geek throng and introduced a teaser for Resident Evil: Afterlife! I should be jaded, as we've been burned by Milla's doey eyes before. Resident Evil 2 was a pretty complete mess and Resident Evil 3 was even more confusing, allowing Milla's character Alice to whip out Akira like powers one moment and then on foot with blades the next while her team mates get eviscerated. If there's one positive you'll take away from this new teaser, it's NO MORE WASTELAND!! Alice takes it back to the city streets with Mister X and Executioner Majini waiting to take her and Claire Redfield down. Looks like Wesker is in for the fight too! Thanks to Comingsoon for the teaser. Enjoy!

Ben Templesmith's Squidgirls

One of my favorite artists on the planet has a new project dropping this May. I have no idea what it is about...but it's called SQUIDGIRLS...and on the strength of that title and cover art alone, I want it. Squids + Girls = Love. No, I don't watch hentai. Whether it is porn or a new dawn for Cthulhu, only time will tell.

Templesmith says "Hardcover. 100 Pages. Limited edition. Comes in Colossal, Kraken and Humboldt versions."

Cringe At The Human Centipede (First Sequence) Trailer

I've shown a lot of people a lot of movies that made them question if they'd really seen that at a later date, since the visuals were so insane and we were so, so drunk. THIS movie, however, seems to be reaching for the stars. I can't conceive anything sicker than the premise for this film, but I'm sure some young genius will come along one day and create a movie that will make us projectile vomit uncontrollably from the first scene on. Until that day, I present to you, The Human Centipede (First Sequence). Thanks to Dread Central for the mental scarring this trailer will surely deliver.

Kick-Ass Takes More Lumps in New Clip

PLEASE...NO MORE CLIPS!! This new trend of showing half the movie before the release is odd. I don't see the logic in it at all, but for the sake of those who love every little bit they can get, here's a new clip with Kick-Ass most likely trying to parlay his super hero persona into a little mattress action.

“How come nobody’s ever tried to be a superhero?” When Dave Lizewski – ordinary New York teenager and rabid comic-book geek dons a green-and-yellow internet-bought wetsuit to become the no-nonsense vigilante, Kick-Ass, he soon finds an answer to his own question: because it hurts. But, overcoming all the odds, the eager yet inexperienced Dave quickly becomes a phenomenon, capturing the imagination of the public. However, he’s not the only superhero out there – the fearless and highly-trained father-daughter crime-fighting duo, Big Daddy and Hit-Girl have been slowly but surely taking down the criminal empire of local Mafioso, Frank D’Amico. And, as Kick-Ass gets drawn into their no-holds-barred world of bullets and bloodletting with Frank’s son, Chris, now reborn as Kick-Ass’s arch-nemesis, Red Mist - the stage is set for a final showdown between the forces of good and evil - in which the DIY hero will have to live up to his name. Or die trying…

April 16th is right around the corner so Lionsgate, we ASSURE you we can wait that long to see the whole movie. Visit http://kickass-themovie.com/ for more info and eye candy!

Buckaroo Banzai Hits the New Beverly

If there was ever a movie that deserves a rock musical made after it, this is my top pick! Buckaroo Bonzai takes an insane amount of the absurd, mixes in SciFi genius and a cast of super charismatic characters to create a cult classic that still holds up today. Where else can you watch aliens named John Bigboote and John Yaya attempt to take over the planet, only to be thwarted by a sharp dressed man and his secret agent band?

In LA, The new Beverly stands out as champion to awesome movies like this, often gathering the cast of actors for Q&A sessions along with the film. Recently, Buckaroo Bonzai got the star treatment and since we live in the future, you can pretend you were there and sit in on the Q&A! Special thanks to Cahcat for the vids. Enjoy!
